PENDENT ()RNAMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 726,698, dated April28, 1903.

Application filed November 5, 1902. Serial No. 130,173. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HUGH S. KERR, a citizen of the United States,residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented certainImprovements in Pendent Ornaments, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to ornamental pendentstructures of the characterdescribed in my prior patent, No. 618,275, dated January 24, 1899; andit consists in certain improvements in structures of this characterwhereby I am enabled to decrease the amount of material employed andenhance the character and beauty of the ornament.

My invention is fully shown in the accompanying drawings, in which-Figure 1 is a perspective view of the fullyassembled pendent ornamentmade in accordancewith myinvention. Fig.2isaperspective view of theassembled blanks from which this ornamentis made. Fig. 3 is aperspective view representing another form of blank. Fig. 4 is adiagrammatic sectional View of the ornament shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is asimilar sectional view illustrating a modified form of the ornament, andFigs. 6 and 7 are views illustrating details of my invention.

In my former patent the ornaments or other structures were made up of aseries of diamond-shaped figures all secured together at one end andarranged to be bent at certain points to form the ornamental structure,and when so shaped up they were sewed or otherwise fastened togetherinorder to retain said shape. In the present form of ornament the blanks 1are star-shaped, and they-may represent stars having any desirablenumber of points from three up. In the present instance I have shownthese blanksl as representing [ivepointecl stars.

The points 2 are to be bent on the lines or and y into the desired form,and they may be held in position with the aid of a single fastener 3 ofthe kind usually employed for holdin 2 papers together. The blanks forforming the pendentornament of Fig. 1 are shown in Fig. 2, such sectionsbeing secured together by the staples 4, although other securing meansmay be employed, and having points 2 projecting from a central body 5,through which the fastening means are passed. In this view the cornersof the points are perforated at 6 to receive the fastener 3. (Shown inFig. 1.) The points of the star are bent first on the line 00, wherethey join the main body, and next on the line g, which latter portionsform the top and bottom of the pend.- ent ornament, as shown in Fig. 1.To increase the ornamentation of this structure, I

providethe star-pointed streamers 7, which project from the center ofthe ornament, as shown in Fig. 1. These streamers may be made by layinga thin sheet of paper or other fabric between the two blanks, as shownin Fig. 4, or they may be independent sections and attached in anysuitable manner to any portion of the ornament after it has been made upinto form shown in Fig. 1.

In Fig. 3 I have shown a blank structure which comprises a singlecomplete star having the usual points 2, with a series of independentpoints 2 to be attached to said star in any suitable manner, thecomplete starblank forming one portion of the ornament, while theauxiliary points will be bent to form another portion of the ornament.

In Fig. 5 I have shown aform of the pendent ornament in which the topsection is bent in toward the center of the structure and there held bythe fastener 3. I may in some instances use a single blank, formingtherefrom an ornament of the shape of one-half of that shown in Fig. 1.

The ends of each of the points are provided with an arrow-shapedornamentation 8, which may be made by means of different colors placeddirectly upon these ends or by pasting difierent-colored paper over thesame, and when these ends are brought together to form the top andbottom, as shown in Fig. 1, the form of a star will be outlined. Thestreamers 7 may also be provided with extensions 7, which may be foldedto form bands 9 or pockets 10, as shown in Figs. 6 and 7. These bandsand pockets will only be carried by the streamer portions, which projectfrom the center of the ornament; but these streamers may be made ofheavier material, if desired such, for instance, as the cardboard fromwhich the other part of the ornament is formedand when thus made thebands or pockets may serve to support other ornamental devices, whichtend to enhance the beauty of the ornament.

The blank sections may be made in different colors and ornamented in anymanner desirable, and they may be made in sheets suitably printed, sothat the designs can be readily cut and the proper perforations made.

Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure byLetters Patout- 1. A pendent ornament comprising starshaped sectionshaving their projecting portions bent at one or more places and havingthe pointed ends of the same lapped and secured together to form ahollow structure.

2. A pendent ornament comprising a pair of star-shaped members suitablyconnected together, the projecting portions of said members being, bentat one or more places and having their bent ends lapped and securedtogether to form a hollow structure.

3. A pendent ornament comprising members having angular projectingportions arranged equidistantly, said projecting portions being bent atone or more places and having their pointed ends lapped and securedtogether to form a hollow structure.

at. A pendent ornament comprising members having angular projections ofuniform size and shape, said projecting portions being bent at one ormore places and having their pointed ends lapped and secured together toform a hollow structure.

5. A pendent ornament comprising members of suitable size and shapeplacedback to back and having projections, the projections of onesection being bent at one or more places in one direction to form aportion of the ornament and the projections of the other section beingbent at one or more points in the opposite direction to form the otherportion of the ornament, the ends of said projections being securedtogether.

6. A pendent ornament comprising starshaped members fastened together atthe center of the bodies of the same, the projecting parts of saidmembers being bent at one or more places in opposite directions andhaving their ends secured together to form a hollow structure.

7. Apendentornamentcomprisingsections of material having angularprojecting portions bent to form a hollow structure and having theirends lapped and secured together, and streamers secured to one of saidsections and-depending from the points where said projecting portionsjoin the body of the members.

8. Apendentornamentcomprisingsections of material having their bodiesfastened together and having angular projecting portions bent at one ormore places and having their points lapped and secured together to forma hollow structure, and streamers secured to one of said sections anddepending from said ornament at the point of juncture between thesections.

9. A pendent ornament comprising starpointed sections bent to form ahollow body, the ends of said sections being so colored that when theyare bent over to form the top of the body the representation of a starwill be produced.

10. A pendent ornament comprising two star-shaped sections having theirpoints bent and fastened together to form a hollow body, streamersprojecting from the space between said sections, and independentfoldable members carried by said streamers.

11. A pendent ornament comprising two star-shaped sections having theirprojecting ends bent and fastened together to form a hollow body,streamers projecting from the space between said sections, and pocketscarried by said streamers.

12. A pendent ornament comprising a complete star-shaped section andindependent sections attached to the same, the star-shaped section beingbent in one direction and having the points of the same secured togetherand the independent sections being bent in the opposite direction andhaving their points secured together, the whole forming a hollowstructure.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
